The greatest film director ever, David Lynch has produced such works as Lost Highway. Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire.
A few months ago, I very enthusiastically signed up to write an article about Episode 5 of Twin Peaks. As the deadline approached, I started to realize how young and naïve a-few-months-ago-me truly was. I have thoughts about Twin Peaks, of course, but I have never written about any of them. At heart, David Lynch […] More
There is a surplus of fan-favorite quotable lines in Twin Peaks Episode 4, and I think the chewiest is when Audrey Horne tells Donna Hayward, “In real life, there is no algebra.” There is a telling irony in this quip. On the surface, Audrey’s articulating with all the confidence of a high school teenager how […] More
Tina Rathborne had never directed an episode of television. Harley Peyton had yet to tag his name on a produced TV script. What they both had in common was a degree from Harvard, along with a sense of trust and goodwill with David Lynch and Mark Frost. Rathborne had previously directed (a shirtless!) Lynch in […] More
There are many brilliant episodes of Twin Peaks, and Episode 2 is definitely in the top five in terms of quality. Although it can be argued that a few may be stronger, this one will always mean the most to me because it was the first one I ever saw. My dad watched the first […] More
Those of you who have followed 25YL for a while know that my heart and soul sing when it comes to Twin Peaks. It’s a show I constantly go back to for comfort and to get lost in. I theorize, I pick apart, and I attempt to possibly make some sense of what it all […] More

One of the most fascinating relationships in all of Twin Peaks is that between Bobby Briggs and his father, Major Garland Briggs. Father/son relationships—especially those involving teenage sons—can be fraught, but Bobby and the Major are on a different level. Each of them, in their own way, is filled with secrets, and (for various reasons) […] More
It is tempting to think of Dale Cooper as the hero of Twin Peaks. Certainly, I expect that we all love him. But he is a deeply flawed person, and while I’m not saying we shouldn’t love him, I do contend that through his hubris he basically broke time and messed everything up. He isn’t […] More

By Josh Flynn If you are a longtime reader of 25 Years Later you probably found your way here due to a love of David Lynch. One of the best things about a love for an artist is where it leads you beyond the artist’s work. Maybe you discovered Ingmar Bergman because of David Lynch. […] More
